aaron (Aaron A. Goodisman):
I live deep in the heart of things,
Feel such a part of things,
That remind me of you love,
And I know whatever the future brings
Whereever the pointer swings,
There will always be true love,
You love
_True Love_
Wang Chung
6.004 is from/in/near hell. Choose two.
But it could be worse. It could be 6.002. I just have to keep saying that...

celine (Adam Weishaupt):
Fine furry fun for few favored fans.
A nihilist? Who? Me?
Actually, relatively speaking, nihilists are positive thinkers.
Think pessimistic, and you're never disappointed.

dschmidt (Dan Schmidt):
The sun ain't stable

edyamp (Ed Yampratoom):
A Radical does not mean a man who lives on radishes, and a Conservative
does not mean a man who preserves jam. Neither, I assure you, does a
Socialist mean a man who desires a social evening with the
chimney-sweep. A Socialist means a man who wants all the chimneys swept
and all the chimney-sweeps paid for it.
-G. K. Chesterton

elsj (John E Elsbree):
I'm losing faith in the American people.
I fear for the future of my country.

hyland (Timothy W. Hyland):
Following is a compendium of my favorite plans from sophomore year
(85-86 for those of you who weren't here)
---------
The staring and sand-buried eyes
Of one long drowned, long dead, there stands
Forever still upon unchanging skies
The small, black circle of the sun.
MacLeish

Random person: So what did you do over Columbus Day Vacation?

Random person: Really?
Tim: Yes. I'm fine now.

I know you are, but what am I?
I know you are, but what am I?
I know you are, but what am I?
I know you are, but what am I?
I know you are, but what am I?
I know you are, but what am I?
I know you are, but what am I?
I know you are, but what am I?
I know you are, but what am I?
I know you are, but what am I?
I know you are, but what am I?
I know you are, but what am I?
I know you are, but what am I?

Up on the hill
People never stare,
They just don't care.
Chinese music under banyan trees
Here at the dude ranch above the sea.
Aja,
When all my dime dancin' is through
I run to you.
Aja, Steely Dan

prophet (Subrata K Sircar):
Plan, Plan, Plan ... what is the plan?
Milano cookies, bridge, and hoop (not necessarily in that order...)
To spend more time with certain people (you know who you are...)
To deal with what I must, ignore what I should, and enjoy the rest (and
figure out how the hell to tell the difference...)
To answer the questions on Ferro's door...
"I got the best friends in all of explored space!" - Opus
"To seek the sacred river Alph/To walk the caves of ice
To break my fast on honeydew/And drink the milk of Paradise..." - Coleridge
"So many thoughts in my head/So many places to be
So many faces that I long to see
Somebody said `Why do you do this to you/Why not sit back and relax
Take my advice go straight and settle down
Slow down you're movin' too fast/You seem afraid it won't last
Go to the islands and forget it all...'" - Styx
"It's either that[party] or wallow in self-pity." - TM
"I got somethin' to say/It's better to burn out
Than to fade away..." - Def Leppard
"Why, this is Hell, nor am I ever out of it." - Mephistopholes
"I took the road less traveled by/And that made all the difference." - R. Frost
"For I have the road ahead/And miles to go before I sleep." - Robert Frost
"Don't give up/Because you have friends..." - Peter Gabriel
"`Look, I got another one. I'm so cool.'" - EB
"Please excuse me/if I don't quite understand
I'm just a stranger/In Electric Land..." - Bad Company

I'm never where I want to be..." - Peter Gabriel
"Life is nasty, cold, brutish, and short." - Hobbes, LEVIATHAN
"Man born of woman has a short span allocated, to be lived in misery."
"The path to any truth begins not with answers, but with questions."
"You've got the right to say/Why Me, Why Me" - Styx
"The flames are all long gone/But the pain lingers on..." - Pink Floyd
"I'm in a FLORIDA state of mind..." - Billy Joel (sort of)
"Do nothing which is of no use."
"You cannot know yourself without knowing others." - Miyamoto Mushashi
"I think you ought to know I'm feeling VERY depressed."
- Marvin the Paranoid Android
"Why stop now, just when I'm hating it?" - Marving the Paranoid Android
"Things don't go the way I planned them..." - Peter Gabriel
"...the girl I love don't even care..." - Smithereens
"I was born the day I met you
Lived a while when you loved me
Died a little when we broke apart...
Yesterday it would have mattered
Now today it doesn't mean a thing
All my hopes and dreams are shattered
I'm in a lonely place without you..." - Smithereens

raeburn (Ken Raeburn):
About a maid I sing a song
Sing rickety-tickety-tin
About a maid I sing a song
Who didn't have her family long
Not only did she do them wrong
She did every one of them in, them in
She did every one of them in.
One morning in a fit of pique
Sing rickety-tickety-tin
One morning in a fit of pique
She drowned her father in the creek
The water tasted bad for a week
And we had to make do with gin, with gin,
We had to make do with gin.
Her mother she could never stand
Sing rickety-tickety-tin
Her mother she could never stand
And so a cyanide soup she planned
Her mother died with a spoon in her hand
And her face in a hideous grin, a grin
Her face in a hideous grin.
She set her sister's hair on fire
Sing rickety-tickety-tin
She set her sister's hair on fire
And as the smoke and flame rose higher
Danced around the funeral pyre
Playing a violin, -olin
Playing a violin.
She weighted her brother down with stones
Rickety-tickety-tin
She weighted her brother down with stones
And sent him off to Davey Jones
All they ever found were some bones
And occasional pieces of skin, of skin
Occasional pieces of skin.
One day when she had nothing to do
Sing rickety-tickety-tin
One day when she had nothing to do
She cut her baby brother in two
And served him up as an Irish stew
And invited the neighbors in, -bors in
Invited the neighbors in.
And when at last the police came by
Sing rickety-tickety-tin
And when at last the police came by
Her little pranks she did not deny
To do so she would have had to lie
And lying she knew was a sin, a sin
Lying she knew was a sin
My tragic tale I won't prolong
Rickety-tickety-tin
My tragic tale I won't prolong
And if you do not enjoy my song
You've yourselves to blame if it's too long
You should never have let me begin, begin
You should never have let me begin.
-- "The Irish Ballad"
Tom Lehrer
